For those who know Classic Codger

MrsCodger

Hi,

For those who remember and communicated with Classic Codger and have wondered about his absence from the Forum since March this year.

I'm sorry to tell you, he hadn't really deserted any of you, he was actually having a serious debate with illness. Unfortunately, this debate did not end well and he sadly left us on Thursday, 23rd June 2016.

As his wife and on behalf of our family, I would dearly like to thank all of you who contributed to making him feel welcome and valued in this community. He spent many happy hours trying to offer guidance to those he related to and even more happy hours receiving the encouragement and support that was freely given by you all. For the most part, his life was certainly enriched knowing that he finally belonged somewhere.

I hope he has been missed here, he's certainly being missed at home.

Thank you all again, keep up the good unacknowledged work you all do.

  • Hi KayakerCez,

    It's good of you to come on and post at what must be a difficult time for you.  It's also good to know that it's a comfort for you that your Dad was held in such high esteem by so many.  I can remember being hesitant when I first joined the forum here, but CC put me at ease with his advice.

    As to the diary, I only briefly kept one myself, for only a few weeks if I recall, so I may not be the best one to advise.  It was mainly a "this is what I did today" type of thing - do I understand rightly that your diary may be more of "this is what I was thinking of today" sort of thing?

    What I did with my original diary was to keep it short and just summarise the day in a few sentences, so you might find that works for yourself.  Sometimes though, keeping things too brief can cause the meaning to be lost!

    Perhaps somebody with more experience than me in this field can give better advice than I can, but I think that in the end, it's what you feel comfortable with that is the best way!

    Thank you, and best wishes also to Mrs. Codger, hope she's keeping well.
